Spartacus Blood and Sand
So I decided to give it a chance. The first 5-6 episodes were meh for me but enough to keep my interest. Almost seems like a gladiator movie parody... but a lot of titties and vag and a lot of blood, so I figured why the hell not?
Anyways, I just caught a pre screen of episode 9, and the show in the past few eps has finally gotten its legs. People seem more comfortable in their rolls and it's less fucking stupid as it was. Maybe I'm just getting used to the uber cheese dialogue and the poor acting, or maybe the acting is finally better, but I can actually say I am beginning to fully enjoy the show. Thoughts?

I have never seen it but I read that the guy who plays Spartacus was just diagnosed with cancer.

I like it, but I think it does things to shock just for the sake of it.
It's like a cross between Deadwood, Rome and 300. |

Pretty entertaining show. They are definitely getting comfortable in their roles now.
Spartacus and Crixus' battle for dominance was pretty great/satisfying this last episode. Looking forward to seeing how Crixus and Spartacus make ammends and how Crixus becomes a leader/general with Spartacus after the escape. Last edited by Requiem; 03-14-2010 at 04:01 PM. |

The Drama in this show has nothing on HBO's Rome series, but it is still very entertaining. Just saw a pre-screen of Episode 9, and it was pretty awesome.

Yeah I've seen that one. It's gooooooooooooooood. I haven't seen Rome but I'd imagine the acting/drama is much better. LOL blood and sand just has that certain something that keeps me hooked.

If you like Spartacus, then I HIGHLY recommend you watch Rome. There are only 2 seasons, as it was one of HBO's most expensive series to make, but it is well worth it. One of my favorite shows ever.
There isn't as much violence, but I feel it is on the whole a better show. Lucy Lawless is alright as a 'bitch', I guess... but Polly Walker made me believe she was an absolute cunt of a human being. The acting really makes Rome, IMO. |

Yeah Rome is far superior. Second season wasn't as good though.

Tried this a few times, couldn't stand it. Terrible dialogue, as was mentioned, and some of the actors are also terrible.

Just watched the season finale.
Gotta say I loved this series. I might even like it better than Rome. It's definitely better than the second season. When it first started, I was mildly interested, but it kept getting better and better, and by the season finale, I was totally hooked. Finale itself was awesome. Excellent payoff. |

Na, both seasons of Rome > Spartacus.
But apparently the lead actor his cancer or something and there is no news on a second season. They are talking a prequel, fuck that, I wanna see the slave army chop Romans to pieces. |

Yeah, finale was awesome.
But both seasons of Rome were incredible. Still couldn't consider this show better than that. The finale brought everything together though and was awesome. I really hope there is a second season. We just found out who the third leader was, and I wanna see them take down Glabius (the prick who put him in there). In History, he was one of the first that came after them, and he lost bigtime. |

Whole season. Only like 6 episodes I think.
First 2 have been good, IMO. |

I think it's set 5 years prior to Spartacus' arrival. It shows a time when Ashur and Crixus was bought and recruited and Oenemeus the trainer was only just a gladiator. The champion is Gannicus and he seems to be a cross between Colin Farrel and Brad Pitt's Achilles.
